Syria (Islam Times) - The Russian newspaper Zaftra revealed that Turkey is directly in charge of coordinating acts of sabotage and terrorism against Syria and is responsible for implementing operational procedures and special operations in the Syrian territory.

It was also mentioned that the decision to target Syria has been taken at least since 2003 when they proposed that Syria partially disarms in return for loyalty and friendship from the West. Back then Bashar Al-Assad refused which led to the passing of a congressional bill to impose sanctions on Damascus as deemed fit which included confiscating Syrian money and restricting Syrian flights.

It was stated that Turkey played the major role in systematically preparing the operational plans to topple the Syrian regime since the rebels were armed and trained in Turkey as well as given intelligence on the Syrian security forces and Syrian military.

The paper also warned that Turkey’s psychological intelligence department targeted Syria by using the media to influence the consciousness and behavior of governments, institutions, and individuals in foreign countries. They also twist the facts and fake videos regarding the rebels the army dissidents. This department works closely with its American and French counterpart.
